If you did attempt to go and get a PhD from scratch it would at least keep you more constructively occupied for the next ten years than posting the oceans of total drivel on the internet that you are going to spend your time doing instead.
Present company excluded?

I stopped here:

"With the advent of Darwin’s theory of evolution, and the billions of years which were postulated as necessary for that alleged process to be achieved (cf. Jastrow 1977, 112), the religious community, ever mesmerized by the speculations of “science,” came to the stark realization that the biblical record of earth history could never be harmonized with the escalating theories of geologic dogmatism."

The estimate for the age of the earth has nothing to do with Darwin's theory of evolution. Also, I have no idea what "escalating theories of geologic dogmatism" means. How does dogma, which must remain the same, "escalate?"

This is rhetorical garbage. Next. :wave:

Notice the projection? "We're not dogmatists. They're the real dogmatists!"

Most mutations are deleterious or neutral. The ones that are benevolent are rare, but they do exist. They do not, however, create new genetic information

Please define "new genetic information" in a quantifiable way.

From fish to amphibian, and amphibian to mammal, increased complexity...

Please define "complexity" in a quantifiable way.

I am often surprised by those that reject evolution and their lack of knowledge upon the subject
For example.....
I can think of a better example.

Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

? I do not understand the idea you are trying to propagate but I hope you are aware that asexual reproduction is more efficient.

Jesus is omniscient -- that means He knows all about evolution -- and He rejects evolution.

That's good enough for me.

Where exactly in the Bible did Jesus reject evolution?

Circular logic :doh1:

A religion which occurred far after evolution rejects what came before it so you will reject it on the basis of it saying so.

It was Jesus Who created Adam & Eve in the first place ... so He would certainly know, wouldn't He?

Well, shucks -- I knew there'd be trouble when I left my Bible Decoder Ring in my other pants.;)
That's okay ... it looks like you're getting plenty of help from another source.

It was Jesus who led Darwin to his discoveries -- indeed, He would certainly know.

Circular logical fallacy again. Jesus says he is god in the New Testament so you say he created Adam in the past although no such mentioning is in the Tawrat.

I really wish to know why on a logical level you reject evolution. I myself can quote the Qur'an all day long to you and it would mean nothing

Get used to it -- if it weren't for circular logic, AV would have no logic at all...
